In order to put an end to this phenomenon, the No. 1 revision of the national standard “Restriction of Excessive Packaging Requirements for Food and Cosmetics” approved by the State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standardization Administration) was officially implemented on August 15 this year.

So far, the state has not specified a unified shelf life and how long moon cakes can be stored. Most of the companies have set standards according to their own processes, and have formulated different shelf lives according to different process levels and risk considerations.

In addition, when consumers buy moon cakes, they must keep the relevant original bills and relevant certificates, and pay attention to keeping screenshots of online moon cakes, which can be used as a basis for rights protection in the event of consumer disputes.
